Inner work is self-monitoring your thoughts, feelings, body, etc. Anything taking place in your head is suspect! A good teacher will not preach to you about being a better person but will put you to work watching every negative thought and feeling that passes through you. That is how I learned how little self-respect the ego has. It is out to do you in.

You should do your inner work because only in this way will you come to conscious love.

How long does it take?

It takes the rest of your life. You have wasted most of it in trying to stay asleep.

Will anybody notice?

Absolutely not.

Will you change overnight?

Absolutely not.

What is the most important question you should ask yourself?

Do I love myself?

Once you realize that you have never loved yourself, you have come to the natural state of love.

Will I love everyone then?

Absolutely.

Will everyone love me?

No. That is not why you do your inner work. You have chosen to be chosen and this is the process in a nutshell.

Will it work?

It is the only thing that does.
